A private country retreat for families and friends to slow down, reconnect and enjoy life on the farm.
Private Farmstay · Sleeps up to 14
Mandalay Park Retreat is a private farmstay escape set in the peaceful Dooralong Valley on the NSW Central Coast, around 90 minutes from Sydney. Surrounded by open paddocks, fresh country air and gentle farm rhythms, it offers a rare sense of space and calm for large families and group getaways near Sydney.
Here, days unfold naturally — quiet mornings, long shared meals, children playing freely outdoors and unhurried evenings under wide country skies.
Two houses, one private retreat
Mandalay Park Retreat is made up of two neighbouring houses — the Main House and a separate Cottage — positioned close together so guests can enjoy time together, while still having space and privacy when needed.
Both houses are reserved exclusively as part of one private booking, along with the swimming pool, activities shed and surrounding outdoor spaces.

Space to relax and gather
A much-loved feature of Mandalay Park Retreat is the large activities shed — a relaxed, versatile space designed for shared moments without disturbing the houses.
Guests enjoy using this space for:
Long shared meals and meaningful conversations
Games nights, table tennis and relaxed evenings together
Intimate celebrations and time spent together
The shed is designed for private use in a calm, residential setting.
Mandalay Park Retreat is always booked privately.
For larger-scale events, please refer to our separate Events bookings.
Farm life • outdoor living
Wide lawns, a swimming pool with rural views and friendly farm animals create a peaceful, family-friendly farmstay experience grounded in nature. Children love the freedom to explore, while adults appreciate the quiet, fresh air and slower pace of country life.
